Melanie Weisner Inks Deal With Lock Poker
Posted Jan 19th 2012 6:45AM EST
Lock Poker, a Merge Gaming Network site that emerged in the United States after the US Department of Justice took action against PokerStars and Full Tilt, has signed another talent to its Team Elite Pro.
Melanie "Callisto" Weisner is the newest addition to the team after signing a deal over the weekend. The young woman attended New York University (NYU) where she was first introduced to the game, and soon emerged as a feared online specialist in both multi-table tournaments (MTTs) and Heads-Up Sit & Go tournaments (HUSNGs). She has since accrued over $1.2 million in career earnings and currently splits time between Europe and the United States on the live tournament circuit.
Weisner's name gained some recognition in 2011 after penetrating the mainstream audience with her week-long appearance on the once nationally televised Poker After Dark on NBC (the Full Tilt sponsored show is now on an extended hiatus/defunct after Black Friday.) Her 2011 year also boasted six cashes at the WSOP, 4 EPT cashes, and a Top 100 ranking on the Global Poker Index.
"Melanie is a perfect fit for Lock. Passionate, relentless in her dedication to the game and incredibly intelligent," said Lock Poker CEO Jennifer Larson of her most recent acquisition. "Players like Melanie give us the true insight into the product and player experience that we need to become the best. Partnering with our players is the true path to greatness."
Lock Poker's newest sponsorship is also noteworthy in that Weisner was a sponsored pro at Full Tilt Poker, which was recently purchased by French investment team Groupe Bernard Tapie. The current details of Full Tilt player contracts remain relatively unknown. Weisner joins Chris "Moorman1" Moorman, Leo Margets, and Matt "allin420" Stout as fellow members of 'Team ELITE' at Lock Poker.
